Pastor Max Beloso is leading a movement of reproducing churches. As part of his work with Frontline, Max and his team are leading the effort to conduct Catalyst Communities all over the Philippines.

But Max is also a pastor and has his eye on WHY we need to plant new churches. He posted the story of Nanay Iyah, a woman who attends one of the NewThing churches. Pastor Max posted this on Facebook page recently and I want to pass it along.

HERE IS THE STORY OF NANAY IYAH….

She is one of our faithful member of our City Church, I can say she is very poor and old .But I want to celebrate her heart for the kingdom of God.She is always early in our celebration Sunday.She is very active in every gathering.Lately we launched our project to the Church , and the whole FWC that we will do the fund raising for the training Center for Church planters and for community transformation.And she is one of the first person who is excited to contribute.I think she understood the dream or vision for the kingdom of God.So she got the card for our fund raising strategy, we call it “Bayanihan “ for 1 Million signature,and a week after she is the first one who surrendered the card with 1300 pesos for the building.And God reminded me about the simple boy who gave his food and make sacrifices for the sake of many people.( you know the story) This boy is a Hero maker.I do believe that everyone can contribute about this dream if we want , specially that we know it’s for the kingdom of God.Pls if you have a heart for the Philippines and even South East Asia, help us to make it happen, pray with us and let’s do this together.Our dream is we can set up a place to train many young people to become church planters in many places.And we have many young people who wants to become hero maker or church planters in many Barangays or villages.We need to do this to continue the Jesus mission.I do believe that in this place we will make many HEROES, and Hero maker for God’s kingdom.

Max is a Hero Maker and church planting is all about making heroes. It’s about Hero Making. This is something we’re deeply passionate about at NewThing. If we can help you do that, let us know.

Dave Ferguson’s new book, Hero Maker is coming out soon. Be sure to grab a copy for you and your teams.
